There’s no easier way to feel feminine than to slip into a beautiful bra.
The problem is that most bras aren’t built with crossdressers and transgender women in mind. That can make it hard to find a bra that looks and fits right.
However, it’s not impossible!
In this post, I share how to solve your 6 biggest bra problems – so you and “your girls” can look their absolute best.

If you don’t wear breast forms, it can be tricky to find a bra with a large band and small cups. (Which is what most crossdressers and transgender women need.)
Here are some bra options for those with smaller breasts and broader body proportions:

Back bulge is another common problem. The causes are back fat and/or an ill-fitting bra.
How can you avoid the dreaded back bulge?

Wear a larger band size. A band that’s too tight will cause bulging, so go up a size. For example, from a size 42 to a size 44 band.

Look for a bra with give. Bras that are made with smooth, stretchy fabrics don’t dig in as much.

Try a longline bra.Longline bras have a wider band that helps eliminate back bulge.

Problem #4: Wide-set breasts

Crossdressers and transgender women tend to have wide-set breasts because of their wider rib cages. This makes it harder to 1.) Find a bra that fits properly and 2.) Create the look of cleavage.
Here are four solutions for wide-set breasts:

Look for pushup pads. A bra with padding on the sides helps push the breasts together.

Wear a wireless bra. Underwires can be uncomfortable if they’re not properly centered beneath the breasts. In this case, a wireless bra will fit you better.

Choose a bra with a wide center panel. The wider the center panel (the triangle-shaped area between the bra cups), the better the bra will fit.

Find a front closure bra. Front closure tend to have wider-set cups due to the center clasp.

Problem #5: Bra straps fall down

Nothing is more annoying than straps that don’t stay put. Here’s how to solve this problem:

Tighten the bra straps. Bra straps stretch out over time, so they should be tightened every other month or so.

Look for silicone bra straps. Some bras have a silicone lining on the straps that helps keep them in place. You can also purchase silicone bra strap cushions that can be worn with any bra.

Try a different bra style. Balconette and plunge bras tend to have wider straps that are prone to falling. Instead, look for a bra with a racerback or crisscross straps.

If you wear breast forms, the right bra is critical. Here are five tips to keep in mind:

Option #1: Pocketed bra. Your best bet is a wear a pocketed bra with built-in pockets to hold the breast forms.

Option #2: Full coverage bra. Your other option is to wear a full coverage bra. The cups should fully cover the breast forms for a seamless look.

Make sure the bra band is snug enough. This provides support for the breast forms. To test, put a finger under the band between your breasts. If you can fit two or more fingers, the band is too loose. Tighten it or go down a band size.

Just like visible panty lines, a bra that shows through your clothes isn’t chic. (Unless, of course, you purposely want to show it off.)
Here’s how to keep your bra under cover:

Look for bras with smooth cups and minimal details. Lacy fabrics and trimmings are pretty, but they often show through lightweight fabrics.

Wear a black or nude bra. The black bra should be worn under dark clothing, while the nude bra works best with light colors. Look for a bra that matches your skin tone. Avoid white bras since these tend to show through.
